Wheelchair Christmas Lights

Time to take advantage of the fact that I have a constant wheeling accessory, and decorate it up for my favorite time of year! CHRISTMAS!! Don’t waste your time trying to find decorations made specifically for wheelchairs; the few things I did find were crazy expensive. So I just came up with my own, and it cost less than $10 total. You guys, they blink!!!

Here’s the lights I used. I just got them from Walmart; they’re battery powered (AA batteries, nothing hard to find) indoor/outdoor light strips. Less than $5 each so I just bought one for each wheel!

I wrapped the cords around the spokes and cut small strips of duct tape to hold them in place! The battery pack is secured by its own wire and a little duct tape, right at the center of the wheel so it won’t move much. I already tested it out wheeling around the park and, it’s AWESOME! One little press of a button and I’m a bright, wheeling, Christmas-cheer spreading machine! 🙂

Hi, I’m Aubrey!

Hi, I'm Aubrey! I'm passionate about family, music, faith, health, and happiness. I have Osteitis Pubis and SI Joint Dysfunction -- long lasting effects from Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction in my last pregnancy (in short, lax ligaments). I cannot walk very far without severe pain. I am grateful for my wheelchair that lets me keep on going when my legs can't, and I'm determined to live life to its fullest!
